WOVEN FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 708,630, datedSeptember 9, 1902. Application filed October 3, 1901. Serial ITO.77,479. (No specimens.)

T0 @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, THEODORE FANTA, a resident of Chicago, in the countyof Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Woven Fabrics; and I do hereby declare the following tobe aA full, clear, and exact description' of the in-A vention, such aswill enable Others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same. Y

My invention relates to an improvement in woven fabric, the object ofthe invention'being to provide an improvedA border, consisting ofseveral layers or weft-planes of varying widths to expose portions ofeach and every plane.

With this object in view the invention consists in certain novelfeatures of construction weft-planes a, b, c, and d, secured one on topvof the other by the warp-threads l, 3, 5, and

7, respectively, and said weft-planes being of varying Widths, so as toexpose the respective edges of each, and as the several weft-planes maybe of different colors a neat and attractive border is the result. Theweft-planea has the warp-threads 1 woven about the same.

Warp-thread 3 extends over weft-plane?) and securely ties the same toweft-plane a. y Warpthread 5 extends over weft-plane .c and ties thesame to a and b, and Warp-thread 7 Y extends over weft-plane d andsecurely ties the.,l same to @,b, and c, thusforming a border in' whicheach Weft-plane will be securely Woven into the border by a separateandl independent warp. The border thus comprises several weftplanessecured centrally, one upon the other and of varying widths, henceexposing the respective edges of every underlying weftplane, Y whichedges are preferably tufted owing to the turning of the weft-threads,and as the several'weft-planes can be of various colors Vto form anydesired combination of `colors a neat and attractive border can beformed of as many weft-planes as desired.

invention.

Havingfully described my invention, what I claim as'new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A woven fabric consisting of several weftplanes located one on Vtopyof the other and warp-threadsseparately securing each of said.weft-planes tothe plane or planes below the same.

V2; A woven fabric consisting of several weftplanes, warp -threadsseparately securing each of said weft-planes to the plane or planesbelow the same, and the side edges of Ithe several lweft-planesprojecting beyond the one Inext above.

Intestimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

THEODORE FANTA.
